Someday I will paint a good portrait of Leonard Cohen. I am a fan of his poetry and music but most of all, I just like Leonard’s personality.

Migrating from Blogger today
I’ve had a blog on Blogger.com for years but I’ve had enough. I feel totally uninspired, Google are not supporting it anymore. I can’t even publish my art via the Blogger app on the iPhone.
So this is the day I move and I hope that I will get inspired again and blog more often. I’d love to post everyday, maybe I will. Let’s see if I do!

Another ferry.
This Stockholm ferry I painted plein air at Nybroplan, where many of the boats stop to drop off and pick up passengers.

Stockholm Ferries
I have a thing for ferries at the moment. Many of the boats that are working everyday of the year are over 100 years old. The Waxholmsbolaget has 3 boats, the Nörrskar, the Storskär and the Västan. This sketch is of the Nörrskar.

The view from Carlingford
Carlingford, Ireland. The view of the north shore, Northern Ireland.
50 x 32,5 cm Arches rough 300g
I had spent one week with two Swedish friends in Omeath, Co. Louth just south of the border with Northern Ireland. The painting is of Warren Point which on the other side of the water looking north.

Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland may not be the best place on the planet for compassion for other beliefs or cultures but they do have beautiful coastlines thankfully. This sketch was painted in a new sketchbook that has Saunders 300g, I think it’s bound by the art store where I bought it. I really like it. 🙂

A lunchtime watercolour
I have gotten out of the habit of blogging, I have to admit I am more focused on just painting. Google doesn’t seem to support Blogger anymore so I’m thinking of moving to WordPress in the future. I would like to post more, just spontaneously putting things on the blog. Google doesn’t have an app for Blogger anymore on iPhones, that’s sad.
The painting of Swedish summer was started during a lunch break and finished in the evening.
I had a wonderful day at Edsvik’s watercolour exhibition where I have two paintings on view. I met a lot of new watercolourists plus a few heroes which was nice. The exhibition continues until the 28th August.
